{Productivity Tip} Under-promise and over-deliver. Instead of telling the boss what you think he wants to hear, make an honest assessment of what you know you can do, and give yourself extra time to do it. Your boss will let you know if he needs it sooner, and you can ask for advice on prioritizing so you can get the project/task done as requested. No one will ever complain because they got something sooner than requested, but we know what the response will be if we turn in something late.

An ADHD brain has many wonderful characteristics that become debilitating when that brain is put in a neurotypical context. A person with ADHD is often full of great ideas and keen intuition. What they might not pick up on is the appropriate moment to share these ideas, or how to prove their intuition at a moment’s notice, and this can lead to frustrations.

Great qualities can morph into their “evil twins” which may be born of the frustrations of not fitting into a neurotypical world. For instance, when spontaneity morphs into impulsivity; self-confidence becomes bragging, or commitment turns into stubbornness.

Recognizing these distinctions can help anyone to communicate and contribute more effectively!

{Productivity Tip} Watch out for unintentional time sinkholes, the most notorious being screen time on your devices. Cut back on “screen sucking,” and you will have more time to do important things.

Do you have ADHD? Know your intelligence is no less valuable, and no less insightful, than your peers who may have an easier time succeeding in the traditional sense.

Unfortunately, some of us with ADHD suffer from low self-esteem and deep-set beliefs that we're somehow less capable than others. Different maybe, but not less-than anyone else.

Remember the old saying: "If you think you can, or think you can't - either way, you're right!"

{Productivity Tip} Do not answer your phone until you have written down a plan for the day. Technology is great but with a pen and paper you are able to create a visual plan. Plus writing something down creates a stronger connection in your brain.
